Can this Andrew Forsman runner break maidens at the 12th time of asking? We think so. Has finished well in both runs since stepping up to middle distance and trainer has turned to Craig grylls to get the job done

2 State Of Valour
F:B(2)W(57.0)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

Most impressive when winning its only trial and trainer seems to think it will handle the ground OK. Stable that has a good strike rate with its runners when they're on debut

Top Pick
5 Aramaki
F:B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Shane Crawford )
This 4yo is on debut after having won one of its 4 trials. Has been backed down from 12's and one of stable runners has recently cleaned up after seeing big money piled on right up to the off. Rails draw and top jockey up
Main Danger
9 Poppa Dennis
F: 863B(3)W(56.0)
( J-Elen Nicholas )

Obviously rated by connections as put into a Stakes race last time, at only its third start. Far exceeded expectations and might well go on with it now back to maiden company

F: 6332XB(6)W(54.0)
( J-George Rooke )

Four times placed in just 6 starts in its first campaign, you'd have to expect it to be winning sooner rather than later. Now resuming from a 4 month spell, it has seen solid support in the early markets
Consider
7 Adonis Blue
F:B(2)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )

Scratched when due to debut last week and now takes its chance in the Heavy. Was second to Paddy The farmer in last trial and that one was impressive when winning its first race last week. Inside draw

Stephen Marsh runner that would logically be our Top Pick had it drawn a better gate. Still hard to beat but with testing track as well, we have that concern

F:B(3)W(54.0)

The trainers have two in the race and this one, on debut, is the less fancied. But we like its chance, has an inside gate and the booking of Jasmine is a good one

2 Merillian
F: 80X2XB(10)W(57.5)
( J-Sage Duric )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
What an exceptional run Kylie Hoskin is having with her runners. This one resumes after a spell of over 7 months but it did it nicely when winning a trial on a Heavy10 and looks the EW value to hit the ground running
Main Danger
10 Cosmopolitan
F: 558B(3)W(55.0)
( J-Bailey Rogerson )
( T-Graham Richardson & Rogan Norvall )
Although only 8th behind Lollapalooza last time, it was only 6 lengths off the winner. Given that was a G3 and the winner is smart, it was a run that measures up to winning this race

On debut and trainer has said that while it showed them plenty in winning its trial 4 weeks ago, he will continue to give it time if the track is too Heavy. If it does run, we think it wins

F: 6X225B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Jasmine Fawcett )
( T-Jenna Mahoney )
While its two runs for second a month or so ago suggest a winning run won't be far away, we're surprised at the odds, as its yet to prove itself on a Heavy10 and drawn wide. It could win but think there's better risk/return elsewhere
Consider
8 Join The Dance
F: 25656B(3)W(56.5)

2 Mr Marigold
F: 21701B(9)W(60.0)
( J-Matthew Cameron )
( T-Kylie Hoskin )
After looking like it might have been too far back, turning for home, last start, it picked up the leader and did it nicely at Tauranga a week ago. On the quick back up and the extra 200m is ideal
Main Danger
4 Soaring Pengshan
F: 0X531B(1)W(58.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )
( T-Shane Crawford )
Progressive and comes into this on the back of its first win two weeks ago. It was fully expected by the stable, and was heavily punted, and there is plenty of upside to that performance. Rails draw

5 Scarlet Temple
F: 81205B(3)W(58.0)

F: 651X0B(11)W(58.5)

( T-Bruce Wallace & Grant Cooksley )
Although finishing last when resuming, it was a compact finish and did come out of a wide gate. Four starts to date and won its maiden at just its third start, in the Heavy, so there's reason to think it might surprise them

F: 46531B(8)W(56.5)

Stable in form and this 4yo has progressed nicely in recent weeks, to break maidens last time. Could get some of the stakemoney here
